Life is not about the number of breaths you take but the number of things that take your breath away. We should live our everyday to the fullest. Till now, I am still trying to be the person who help more, reject less, praise more, criticise less, comfort more, upset less, cheer more, jeer less, love more, hate less...........
And maybe I can succeed one day with the strength given to me by God, the Almighty and also the encouragement and love showered upon me by my loved ones.

It All Begins!For the many years before today, I have experienced my 1st day of school, my 1st test, my 1st exam, my 1st day of BGR, my 1st day of holiday, my 1st failure, my 1st success and many other 1st times. Today is my 1st day of work. Although it is not my 1st time working, it matters alot now as my career starts today. It matters because i can now search my meaning and value in life. I can use the money I earn to build a future, one that consists of Dear and me. I can grow as an adult and I can learn as a professional. Of course, I will lose some things which are only entitled to students. I have no more holidays in terms of months. I have to face a different kind of stress and pressure. I have to ensure the well-being of my parents and my family in the future. To gain something, others have to be lost. I guess this is the concept of balance. Today went very smoothly. I was the last one to reach office but we were all on time. In the morning, we had an orientation briefing conducted by the Managing Director. He elaborated on the company mission, core values and other important information. He also gave us an overview of the company's operation, business and future plan. Then, the baton was passed on to the HR executive who briefed us on the code of conduct and ethics and other administrative matters. Went to eat lunch with our superiors. So far, they are quite ok but it still early to tell. My Key Account Manager just asked us to attend his wedding!The afternoon was spent learning the IT stuff after the IT Support Executive set up our laptop and taught us how to book meeting rooms and check our colleagues calendar and etc. Then we took some time to read through the orientation kit and also browsed through the public folders. At 4.30pm, the company driver gave us a ride to Suntec for corporate photo taking that is required for our name cards. It was quite expensive but was paid by the company. Then we went back to office to show face and packed up before leaving at about 6.15pm. Tomorrow, there would be another briefing session with the General Manager of Admin. Then, I guess it is on the job training already.
